Land Lady
I wrote this ballad for you my land lady
Finding the right words to mean more but write less
Has taken me a night or two,
What’s the rush for a beauty that’s an endless applause to the creator?
When I call you my land lady,
It’s because I reside in your heart and you in mine.
A red cathedral where I sing my throat sore
Songs of songs of warm toffee and fine rose
Only lavender candles and yellow essence.
This chemistry is covalent, supple yet never rusty;
I know you come with baggage
But my heart is a mansion, there is always room here
And as long as my heart beats,
My love for you shall be sound.
To breathe the air you breathe and live the life I live
Is the contract our souls keep.
O lady, show me how else to love you…
Where else to kiss, even places that hurt;
Since your sugary words fell on my lemon heart
Our love only knows years of drinking to this lemonade
Who needs blankets with a love this warm?
